Jo Kim's Down the Deep and Rolling River is segmented into four acts, and will run through December 2025.

Act I On

*There were many reasons to consider a wall painting. It removes problems of objecthood, and at the same time, the idea of expression or action as relational to existence is upheld through the removal of the painting itself. In a year long installation, there was instead a question on the meaning of attitudes. When typically the position of a show asserts itself as fixed, this work will carry on in four acts and I still had a question as to what drove this.

The text comes from a scene in Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat (2024), at a point when “sisterhood” had a cause stronger than its simple cue. Later that week I was influenced by a film starring Isabelle Huppert, asserting the repetition of language as a form of exposure and treatment.*
